Got to test the new VHF aerial today ! Well impressed with its performance hearing and worked a station that was well down in the noise with the old aerial even before it went faulty.Today that station was a 5/9 signal.
Ken it's a big thank you from myself and GB4LD who is now putting out a cracking signal.

Spent this morning at the station sorting the VHF aerial and downlead.New downlead is ok ! However there is a high swr on the aerial,I guess after being up in the salty atmosphere of the Lizard since before Covid has not done it any good.I was wondering if any of our amateur friends have a spare. I have had a very kind offer of help,Thank you very much Ken.
